Comments
Men, women, and children at work. The Scribner's illustration identifies this "tobacco warehouse" as being near Liberty Hill, a community in Bedford County; however, King (p. 557) identifies the scene as Lynchburg where "tobacco is the main article of . . . trade. Buyers from all parts of the Union crowd the streets; the warehouses are daily visited by throngs."
